EU representative for EdTech companies

EdTech platforms process student data at scale — much of it from minors — and EU schools increasingly demand GDPR paperwork before they buy. For non-EU EdTech, Article 27 requires an EU representative; Usantis provides one without an EU entity.

Why EdTech companies need an EU representative

Article 27 GDPR applies based on what you do, not where you are based. If your EdTech business offers services to, or monitors, people in the EU, you need a representative established in the EU. The full rules are in our EU GDPR representative guide.

Usantis gives you that representative — a real EU address, a named representative and DSAR handling — without opening an EU entity.

Compliance challenges for EdTech

  • Student data is largely minors’ data, triggering the Article 8 consent rules
  • EU schools and universities demand GDPR documentation in procurement — a missing representative can cost the deal
  • Learning analytics and progress tracking are personal data profiles
  • Parent, teacher and student accounts mean three data-subject groups in one product

Where the risk usually hides

  • Learning-analytics dashboards and progress profiles
  • Classroom chat, submissions and recordings
  • Parent communication and consent flows

Typical setups we cover

  • Learning-management systems
  • Language-learning and tutoring apps
  • School administration software
  • Assessment and proctoring platforms
